Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Boulle centre table is a freestanding decorative table featuring a specialized marquetry technique created using cut brass and tortoiseshell over a wooden frame, designed to be viewed from all angles within a room.

Traditional Boulle construction combines sheet brass inlay set into natural tortoiseshell, often mounted onto ebonised wood framing and finished with cast gilt-bronze ormolu mounts.

Authentic 19th-century Boulle pieces display intricate hand-cut brass scrollwork, heavy gilt-bronze mounts with sharp detail, and natural patination on the metallic surfaces consistent with age.

Position the piece as a focal point in an entryway or quiet corner, pairing the intricate metallic marquetry against modern neutral walls and contemporary artwork to balance the decorative detail.

Keep the item in a climate-controlled room away from direct heat sources to prevent inlay lifting, and dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth without liquid polish or chemical cleaners.
